Filing Options
- Paper filing – the entire return including W-2s and 1099s are sent to the IRS through the US mail. If the client is receiving a refund, it can be directly deposited or a paper check can be issued. If the client owes the IRS money, a check has to be attached to the return.
- Electronic filing – The entire return is sent as an electronic file directly to the IRS computers. If the client is receiving a refund, it can be directly deposited or a paper check can be issued. If the client owes the IRS money, the debt can be taken directly from a checking account or a check can be attached to the return.
- Refund Transfer Loan (RTL) – The client’s return is filed electronically and the information is sent to our banking partner, who will issue the RTL. When the return has been processed by the IRS, the bank sends an electronic indicator that allows me to print a cashier’s check for the refund, less the preparer’s and bank’s fees. The process from filing to printing the cashier’s check usually takes between 10 to 14 days to complete. This type of loan is appropriate for those who cannot pay for their tax preparation fees upfront because the fees are deducted from the taxpayer’s refund.
